SPE4A726Q0474_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond. The acquisition seeks 128 units of an INDICATOR.LIQUID QU part (NSN 6880003264435, PN EA148ANH-70) on a firm fixed price basis. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support (Richmond), with solicitation number SPE4A726Q0474, and the document is classified under FAR Part 12.

The sole source contractor is Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. (CAGE 89305). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority for the limited competition, specifically AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval). The acquisition is restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on SAM.gov on 02/25/26 with no responses received. The material is anticipated to be awarded against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The estimated value is redacted, though the document indicates it falls in the over $900,000 to $20,000,000 range, requiring Competition Advocate approval. Additional justification notes that the OEM is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government and that reverse engineering is prohibited, preventing full and open competition without the technical data package. The Contracting Officer (Kay U. Bates, IST Branch Chief) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin, COMPAD) have approved the justification as of 03/06/26.
